Abolition and Queer Justice

This book issues a powerful call to action: queer justice requires the abolition of the prison industrial complex. Bringing together historical, empirical, pedagogical, and personal essays that welcome readers into the complex and hopeful work of abolition, this collective project highlights a range of anticarceral resistance work. Intersectional and actionable by design, Abolition and Queer Justice features the voices of scholars and activists from across queer criminology and invites students, scholars, and activists to join together to advance truly transformative goals.
